Metro Atlanta teacher spends her own money to prepare classroom for new school year

While many families are beginning their back-to-school shopping, teachers are also filling carts with supplies for their classrooms often using money from their own paychecks. Gisselle Velez is preparing for her second year teaching third grade at Hopkins Elementary School. During a recent shopping trip in Chamblee, she picked up copy paper, glue sticks, hand sanitizer and Expo markers — items she says her classroom uses quickly. “I tend to save about $150 to $200 just to buy those school supplies because there are students that don’t have the money to buy school supplies,” Velez said.

“I want to make sure I have those resources for them.” Velez teaches at a Title I school and said many families are doing everything they can to prepare their children for the school year. She wants to make sure students who arrive without something they need do not feel unprepared. Her experience reflects a broader trend among educators. The National Education Association says about 94% of public school teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies, with many spending between $500 and $750 each year. Velez said her motivation is also personal. Growing up, her family sometimes struggled to afford school supplies. “I used to be in their position when I was growing up,” she said. “It was really hard to afford school supplies.”

Velez said she wants her classroom to be a safe and supportive place where students can focus on learning instead of worrying about what they do not have. At checkout, Walmart surprised Velez with a $200 gift card that covered the cost of her purchase. For Velez, the supplies represent more than items on a shopping list. They are one way she hopes to give students and their families peace of mind as the new school year begins.

Teen’s 1st Grade Teacher Pulls Off Cross-Country Graduation Surprise

Posted on by Leave a comment

A high school graduate got the surprise of a lifetime after his elementary school teacher traveled across the country to surprise him — and the emotional reunion was caught on camera. Jordan Hodges, 18, tells PEOPLE that his teacher Denise Crocker, 58, had a tremendous impact on his life.

“She was my mother at school,” he says. “Not only did she teach me in the classroom, but she also taught me some of life’s most important lessons outside of it.” The Texas woman says she was Hodges’ first grade teacher at Rosebud Primary School in 2014 and worked with him in third grade when he had severe test anxiety. “After that year, we would usually talk before a big test to help him have the confidence to do his best,” she adds.

“He was a special student because he would try his best but would get frustrated with himself but he never gave up.” Even after finishing elementary school, and moving with his family to Florida, the pair stayed in touch and even talked over FaceTime.

“Anytime I needed her or any sort I asked my mom to call her,” he adds. “And as I came to visit she would come to see me too. It was hard with her not being there without her to rely on, but I did okay.” When the time came for the teen to graduate from Blake High School in Tampa, the Texas teacher knew she had to be there to see him “finish that part of his journey.”

“I wanted him to see his first grade teacher in the audience and see I was proud of him for the accomplishments he had made over the years,” she adds. “I wanted him to know that he will always have my support.”Months before Hodges’ graduation, Crocker — who has been teaching for over 25 years — started talking to his mom Atiah about flying in to be there.

“She was so excited I wanted to come, but we wanted to surprise him,” she says.

But the logistics of the actual surprise still needed some troubleshooting.

“At first, his mom said we could meet somewhere, and I just walk up and surprise him, but at the last minute that didn’t work,” Crocker shares. Then, on May 23, the night before his graduation, the two decided it was go time.

“She was busy getting the place ready for his graduation party so she told me just to come there,” Crocker explains. “She had sent him on an errand and he was taking forever to get back. So we were just sitting there talking with her and her family and luckily her best friend saw him about to open the door and jumped up to film.”

Hodges, who had no idea what was in store for him, says it took a second to register that his former teacher was there.

At first, he says he just noticed “somebody that looked very familiar in the window,” before quickly realizing that the woman sitting in a chair next to his mom was really Mrs. Crocker.

“He was so in shock when he walked in and saw me,” she says. “He kept asking how did I get there. I laughed and said I walked. He just kept hugging me.”Crocker shares she also gave Hodges a Bible monogrammed with his name and a journal as he moved forward into the next phase of his life, studying psychology at Albany State University in Georgia. 

In the meantime, Hodges says he plans to continue to stay in touch with Crocker as he grows up.

“Just because I’m older that doesn’t mean I will lose contact with her,” he says. “She was there for me as a child and now we can be there for each other.”

San Jose high school aide arrested for alleged sexual communications with teenage girls

Posted on by Leave a comment

A high school classroom aide was arrested in San Jose last week after he allegedly engaged in inappropriate behavior with two underage female students. One week before the arrest, the San José Police Department said officers responded to a report of an adult male suspect sharing inappropriate sexual messaging and conversations with a student at a high school in the 1500 block of Branham Lane, which is the location for Branham High School.  During their investigation, a second juvenile survivor came forward and reported that the suspect also victimized her, police said. 

The department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force identified the suspect as 31-year-old Heriberto Plascencia.  Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Plascencia and a search warrant for his residence. On May 21, with the assistance of the department’s human trafficking and special victims units, officers found and arrested Plascencia in San Jose, police said.  He was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of sending harmful materials to a minor and for annoying or molesting a minor. Police said there may be other victims due to Plascencia’s position of trust as an aide at the high school.  A Campbell Union High School District spokesperson said Plascencia was hired just over a year ago and did clear background checks.

In a message to parents, Branham Principal Beth Silbergeld said that upon becoming aware of the matter, the administration promptly reported it to police and the school was providing support resources to students. “We are deeply troubled that an adult in a position of trust engaged in this type of behavior, which is unacceptable and has no place in our community,” said Silbergeld in the message. “As this remains an active law enforcement investigation, we are unable to share further details.

Denver Public Schools will implement bell-to-bell cellphone ban

Posted on by Leave a comment

Denver’s school board unanimously passed a policy that will require students’ personal electronic devices to be turned off and put away while at school. This includes cellphones, smart watches, laptops, tablets and even wireless earbuds.  “It was a thoughtful community recommendation, not a top-down directive,” said School Board Director Marlene De La Rosa. “Number two was focused on educational outcomes, not punishment, as we really want to see this as a positive. It is focused on sustained attention, reducing distraction, [and] limiting social media harms during the school day.”

CBS In a survey of more than 7,000 DPS parents, teachers, students, and other community members, more than 60% were in favor of a bell-to-bell ban. That includes about ¾ of all staff surveyed. However, only 2% of students agreed. “I want to be really clear that this isn’t punishment, you know, that the adults, the leadership, the district wants what’s best for the kids, wants what’s best for their success,” said DPS parent, Jamie Chesser. Chesser has been a part of the community engagement process. “This is, in my opinion, the way that we need to go for children’s success, mental health focus, and also for the teachers,” Chesser added.

Investigators said they didn’t have contact over the summer, then in the beginning of the current school year, Enriquez and the student communicated again and continued the sexual relationship. Investigators said that he continued the sexual relationship with the student until May 2026, after the student turned 18.

Brookhaven preschool director and teacher arrested on child cruelty charges involving toddlers, police say

Posted on by Leave a comment

The director of a Brookhaven preschool and its lead teacher have been arrested following multiple allegations of cruelty to children in their care.  Detectives with the Brookhaven Police Department began investigating reports of abuse of children at the Oglethorpe Presbyterian Pre-School and Kindergarten in early May. And on Thursday, 63-year-old Beverly J. Moon and 27-year-old Charles K. Wheeler were taken into custody at the DeKalb County Jail. The Georgia Division of Family and Children Services and the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning also conducted separate investigations, and their findings confirmed information gathered by Brookhaven detectives. 

Police said several witnesses came forward and told authorities that Wheeler, the lead teacher, used “excessive measures” to restrain kids inside the classroom, causing distress. However, no specific injuries were reported.  Based on the witness statements and accounts provided by the parents of the victims, detectives established probable cause to initially charge Wheeler with five counts of cruelty to children in the first degree. After investigators took Wheeler into custody, an additional victim came forward, and detectives charged him with one more count of cruelty to children in the first degree, bringing the total to six counts.

Denver Public Schools considering banning cellphones during school hours

Posted on by Leave a comment

Denver Public Schools is now considering a bell-to-bell policy, which would mean students wouldn’t be able to use their cellphones, not even during passing periods and lunch. It would also include other personal devices such as laptops, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds to prevent students from working around the phone ban. All Colorado school districts must establish their own cellphone policies according to law.

“We all just realized, once you know better, you need to do better,” said Sarah Almy Moore, a DPS parent and a member of the Communication Devices Advisory Committee tasked with creating the cellphone policy recommendation for the school board. “We heard from a lot of different people,” she said. The committee spoke with and heard from hundreds of students, teachers, parents, and even members of the school safety team when doing the research. “There’s 17 states that have implemented a bell-to-bell ban on devices,” Almy Moore said. “So this is not like a groundbreaking thing.

School Teacher Misconduct April 23–30, 2026

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the past week (April 23–30, 2026), several U.S. teachers faced arrests, firings, or administrative actions, mostly over allegations of inappropriate relationships or contact with students. These cases come primarily from Florida (a cluster of incidents), Alabama, West Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. Below are the key verified stories reported in that window, based on local law enforcement and school district announcements.

Florida cases (multiple arrests and one high-profile firing)

  • Kirsten Rose, 37, math teacher at Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School (Brevard County): The school board unanimously voted to terminate her employment on April 28, 2026, after her earlier arrest. She faces one count of sexual conduct by an authority figure and five counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor (plus lewd and indecent exposure). The alleged relationship with a student began via social media. The district stated it was “deeply troubled by these allegations” and is cooperating with law enforcement. fox35orlando.com
  • Heather Mashburn-Smith, 37, teacher at Port Charlotte High School (Charlotte County): Arrested April 29, 2026, after detectives say she had sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old student on campus on two occasions in the prior month. She provided a full confession. Charged with unlawful activity with certain minors (enhanced to a first-degree felony because of her position as a teacher). The district placed her on administrative leave and said it is “working closely with law enforcement” while prioritizing student safety. winknews.com
  • Nicholas Sapp, ~38, teacher at Williston Middle/High School (Levy County): Arrested April 23, 2026, after a witness reported an inappropriate relationship with a student. Charged under Florida Statute 800.101 (offenses against students by authority figures). He was placed on administrative leave without pay. levyso.com
  • Angela Faith Jourdan, substitute teacher at Lake Minneola High School (Lake County): Arrested and immediately fired on Monday, April 27, 2026, after an alleged classroom meltdown. Witnesses reported she twerked in class, referred to herself as a “million-dollar prostitute,” and grabbed a student. The district terminated her employment the same day, citing the behavior as unacceptable. She was charged in connection with the incident. nypost.com

Alabama case

  • Gilford Kibler Jr., 62, career technical education teacher at Discovery Middle School (Madison City Schools): Arrested April 27, 2026, on a felony charge of school employee sexual contact with a student under age 19. Police and the district investigated allegations of inappropriate contact. He was booked into Madison County Jail. waff.com

Arizona cases

  • Diego Florentine Ontamucha Franco (also reported as Diego Antemucha Franco), 30, kindergarten teacher at Pueblo Elementary (Scottsdale Unified School District): Arrested April 28, 2026, at his Mesa home after police say child sex abuse material (CSAM/child pornography) was found on his electronic devices. No evidence indicates any Scottsdale students were involved. He was fired following the arrest. fox10phoenix.com
  • Amy Beck, teacher at Coyote Hills Elementary School (Peoria Unified School District): Placed on paid administrative leave April 27, 2026, pending an internal investigation. The action followed the resurfacing of a 2020 video (originally posted by her son, social media influencer Noah Beck) that appeared to show her simulating oral sex with him while lip-syncing to explicit lyrics. The district cited “an abundance of caution” and emphasized that student safety was not impacted; a substitute is covering her class. usatoday.com

West Virginia

  • Curtis Collins Jr., 44, teacher at Logan Middle School (Logan County): Arrested Wednesday, April 29, 2026, on one count of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, or custodian. The district confirmed the arrest and placed him on leave while cooperating with law enforcement. Details on the specific allegations remain limited in initial reports. wsaz.com

Texas

  • Cecilia Mueller, 46, elementary school teacher (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio): Arrested Monday, April 28, 2026, and charged with continuous sexual assault of a child. The alleged assaults occurred about a decade earlier while she taught at Lewis Elementary (she later taught at Henderson Elementary until 2019). The now-adult victim came forward recently. She was taken into custody without incident. ksat.com

New Mexico

  • Wyatt Cornelius, 43, middle school teacher and coach at Camino Real Middle School (Las Cruces Public Schools): Arrested Friday, April 24, 2026, on charges including criminal sexual contact of a minor (third-degree felony), child solicitation by electronic device, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Police allege an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old female student. He was placed on paid administrative leave pending the investigation. lcsun-news.com

These bring the total reported incidents this week to around a dozen, with Florida again seeing multiple cases. Most stem from local sheriff’s offices and school district statements, with many still in early stages. No major national pattern or international stories broke in this exact seven-day period beyond what’s already been covered. If you’d like deeper details on any specific case, more states, or updates as they develop, just let me know!

New Hampshire teacher resigns after alleged inappropriate communication with students online

A Salem, New Hampshire High School teacher has resigned after allegations of inappropriate interactions with students on social media.  “Definitely surprised. It just kind of hurts because he was a very liked teacher,” said senior Thomas Mallous. The district confirmed that the Salem Police Department has been notified and that a criminal investigation is underway. In a statement, Superintendent Maura Palmer said parents of students directly affected were notified immediately. The broader school community was informed of the teacher’s resignation on April 14. Parents described the situation as troubling. “I think it’s inappropriate,” said parent Inna Gacevic.

“I think we need to be careful with our kids on social media, definitely. I have kids on social media, but I make sure that we don’t interact with teachers outside of school in that way.” The Salem School District has a strict social media policy for staff. According to the policy, teachers are prohibited from “friending” students or sharing social media content unrelated to academic work. Community members say those rules are critical but acknowledge the challenges of enforcement. “It’s hard to keep track of that,” another parent said. “We can’t know what every teacher is doing outside of school or what every student is doing,but I think, for ethical reasons, as a teacher, you don’t do that.” Mallous said interactions between teachers and students on social media should be off-limits. “It should be rule number one of being a teacher never interact with your students online,” Mallous said. “It’s just not acceptable.”

Former Miami-Dade high school teacher charged with multiple counts of battery, placed on house arrest

A former Miami-Dade County Public Schools teacher is facing serious criminal charges after authorities say he was accused of multiple counts of battery involving students. According to court records, 53-year-old Rudolph Infante, a teacher at Miami Southridge Senior High School, has been charged with four counts of battery and one count of an offense against students by an authority figure.  Details surrounding the alleged incidents remain limited, but Infante appeared in bond court, where a judge imposed strict conditions on his release. Judge orders restrictions, attorney raises concerns During the hearing, a judge ordered Infante to stay away from the alleged victim and prohibited him from being near any schools.

His attorney pushed back on the restrictions, arguing they could be overly burdensome if a medical emergency were to occur. “I’m just saying that issuing a stay-away order that means he’d have to be 500 feet away from every single school in the county,” the attorney argued in court.  The judge ultimately upheld the conditions. Infante has since posted bond and is currently on house arrest, according to court proceedings.

Student suspended for pro-ICE flyer while teacher’s union spends $1.7M to help anti-ICE protests

Astudent at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego was suspended after posting a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement flyer reading, “We [heart] ICE – Real Americans,” following an anti-ICE walkout on campus, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

Student-led anti-ICE walkouts have continued to rise nationwide. In 2026 alone, more than 300 such walkouts and protests have taken place. Various organizations have led training programs within K–12 schools, and the National Education Association has provided $1.7 million in funding to a May Day 2026 training toolkit that includes anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement messaging, according to an investigation by Defending Education.

A “Four Weeks of Power” training series is organized and led by Free the Future, the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, New York University’s Steinhardt Metro Center and the Midwest Academy.

Torrey Pines school officials reportedly claimed the student’s flyer was “harassment” and “intimidation,” leading to the student’s suspension and prompting concerns from free speech advocates.

“Schools cannot favor one viewpoint over another. When students express themselves non-disruptively, the First Amendment guarantees their right to freedom of speech, regardless of what opinion they share,” Conor Fitzpatrick, senior attorney at FIRE, told The Center Square.

“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power. Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.

“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence. My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

“Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you. Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up? The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him. Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.

“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.

“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags. He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.

“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward. I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh. “A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.

“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.

“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.

“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall. The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him: But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel), even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of your ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.

“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.” Genesis 49:1-27 WEB

A Multitude of Nations

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless. I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying, “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations. Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you. I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you. I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you. He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring. He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah. I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”

Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?” Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.  As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham. Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him. Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised. All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
